IN-VEHICLE CHARGER

DRIVE August 17, 2016

A Si diode is used as a rectifying diode on a transformer secondary side of an isolated DC/DC converter, and a high-voltage Schottky barrier diode made of a wide bandgap semiconductor is used as a free-wheeling diode arranged between a rectifier circuit and a smoothing reactor. Thus, there may be provided an in-vehicle charger capable of suppressing a diode recovery surge voltage with a circuit configuration that is simpler and suppressed in cost increase as compared to a case where a related-art synchronous rectifier circuit system is employed.
